Still very hot in gai Paris. 32° forecast this afternoon.
I have got a load of stuff out of the way this morning while it was still cool enough to do it - watered the garden, done the Iron Ing, changed my bed and put the washer on, and surface cleaned the house. I am now hunkered down inside with all the windows and blinds closed and fans whirring. I would like to stay this way, but unfortunately it's not to be. I have to go and pick Captain Pyjamas up this afternoon, and then this evening I'm playing Beethoven with the orchestra. It's going to be hot work.
Rather hazy and overcast from time-to-time in Arkland the Sticky, with a high of just 79F later this afternoon - but rising to 88-90F tomorrow!
I was up early (for me) today, to get some Errands run before too much Heat occurred, and succeeded in obtaining a couple of own-label tins of Sardines In Tomato Sauce at our village Co-Op.
O frabjous day! Calloo! Callay! That nutritious and tasty Fish is not yet extinct, though there weren't more than a dozen or so tins on the shelf. Maybe I should have bought the lot...
My word - it must be 15 years since I last went to a barber...and no, I am not become a Nazarite, but the owner of an Electrical Engine by means of which I can give my Head a close shave...
No Rain or Thunder forecast here AFAIK, but fresher Breezes accompanying the Sun Shine next week will be welcome, even if the temperature drops to a chilly 75F...
Mr Boogs is away so I've been looking for a friend to go and see the film '28 Years Later' by Danny Boyle set in Cheddar Gorge - we saw lots of the filming. No one is interested so I'm thinking of going alone. It's at 13:45 on Thursday.
I've never been to the cinema alone before. What do y'all think?
Blisteringly hot this morning so I went into laundry overdrive and did four loads back to back, including four fleeces and a coat. No sooner had I got the whirlie jam-packed with wet washing than the sun disappeared.

I often go to the cinema by myself; I’ve come to prefer it. Mr Bee and I like completely different films.
Enjoy!
After a somewhat broken sleep (I didn't go to bed until much later than I usually do on a work night, and woke at 3:45, 4:30 and about 5:30), it's another Very Hot Day here (26° in the afternoon). I'm very glad my office faces north! I had the wit to open the sitting room windows before I went to work, so it actually felt reasonably cool when I came in.
Supper was scampi & chips, along with some pasta salad that was approaching its die-by date (but was actually rather nice).
Heat but not a lot of actual sunshine today. I carried on with paperwork all morning in a reasonable temperature. At lunchtime I had a phone call from a carpenter( he does a lot of work for my son-in-law) who promptly came and fitted bolts to a door which connects to my extension. This gives me more peace of mind regarding security. A very neat job too for a mere £30. I’m still waiting for the roofers though.
Today should have been the day the last bits of our kitchen were finished. The bricklayer did an excellent job of bricking up the window that is now covered by units and our kitchen fitter came and mended the hole in a cupboard where an over-enthusiastic electrician thought there was going to be a power socket. Unfortunately the door to replace the one that was wrong was exactly the same as the one that is already there. The right one is on order (again) but it'll be another three weeks till it arrives.
Other than that I had a morning philosophising, and afternoon watching tennis on the TV and an evening drinking wine in the garden.
Thunderstorms are threatened for tomorrow.

Why on earth would it refer to my hair?

Still weird though, since read in its (brief) entirety it is obviously meteorological.
